Cryo-EM structures of orphan GPR21 signaling complexes

In this work, the authors report Cryo-EM structures of the signaling complexes of human GPR21, an orphan GPCR and a potential metabolic disease target, and reveal unique receptor activation conformation when bound to downstream signaling proteins in the absence of any ligand.
